Chemical Treatments For Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Termites find these chemicals easy to detect and a strong deterrent, making them ideal for offering good protection to all treated areas. Unfotunately however, when areas are compromised at a later stage, or if access is an issue and not all areas are covered, white ants may recognise the gaps and could potentially gain access.

The most frequently applied chemical repellent is Bifenthrin, with a residual effectiveness of as much as 5 years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are not detectable by termites. Since they don’t avoid the chemical, they will pass over the chemical and die after coming into contact with it. They may also transfer the chemical on to other colony members they come into contact with, thus creating a compounding effect.

Because termites are not able to identify these non repellents, they identify no difference between areas which are treated and the ones that are not, so there is likely to be reduced ingress through gaps.

The most commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to 8 years.

Baiting Systems For Termites

Used to exterminate termites in a structure, Above Ground Systems position bait stations directly where there is termite activity, so that the white ants feed on the bait matrix and not the wood that they were eating up to now. As well as killing the white ants that eat the bait at the source, there is also a compounding effect when worker termites feed the bait to further colony members.

The entire colony can be eliminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should continue to be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed white ant activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is particularly vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.
